Vintage Panes

Hello again everyone!!! In my last blog about vintage window panes I
showed you al another idea for using these panes. Its amazing because lately I am noticing how many people actually collect used window panes. Some have told me they have so many but really do not know what to do with them.
On the other hand I have also heard many wonderful stories about what people have done with them and have gotten a couple good ideas.
However I wanted to share with you the end result of that pane and show you the results. So check it out and let me know what you think. This one kind of reminds me of the beach ( which I am longing for very much right about now)
but honestly the ideas are endless. Hope you enjoy!

Loving those Lithograph Prints

Here are a bunch of Vintage Lithograph Prints I selected from my collection to share with all of you. I love these prints, they bring me much joy! As you can probably tell I love the victorian children in many of these. Some of their expressions just make me laugh and others smile.
I have a few of these in my young daughters room and every once in a while she will say "Mommy", "I dont like the way that one is looking at me", I know that sounds kind of spooky maybe to some of you. However I believe it is because of their mischievous smiles on some of the young girls that makes her feel that way. They actually remind me of my daughter because of that reason and I guess thats why I put them in her room. So down they come when she doesnt want to look at them!! Collecting these has gotten to be a sickness with me. One of my favorites sold today but I am glad she went to a new home with someone who will love her as I have.

Inside Treasurekeepers Antiques







Treasurekeepers Antiques

Hello All!
Well tommorrow is the first day of the opening of my new Antique Store located on 56 Frederick Street in Bristol, Connecticut. Even though we are in a recession right now -I know there are alot of dealers out there and just antique enthusiasts who love and live to shop! So I am hoping that all of you will make time to stop by and check us out!! When you see the big Black Wooden Bear that stands about 9 feet high on the side of the road you have reached us! He is there because I share the building with Black Bear Auto. So even better if you need an oil change or some work done on your car you can drop it off and stop over while you wait and shop a bit or just say hi!
Hope to see you all soon! Here is a pic of my Shop-and also a sneak peak of whats inside.
We are also on the web at http://www.treasurekeepersantiques.com/ - thanks again, Karen
